So which photo to choose for a coating reference?

While organizing some folders on my desktop this morning, I came across these from last year.

Pics of the same watch, taken at the same time but under different light. One under total shade, the other under partial sunlight.

DLC coatings turn your watch into a chameleon. It can go from black to pencil lead depending on where you're standing.

Same buckle DLC coated. Taken at the same time, one with more daylight hitting it from a window, the other (in the same room) directly under a ceiling light.
